Don't know, but the specs for SO have changed several times. It's probably time we should go ahead and institutionalize SOME model or other to be the default "easy beginner" class. P-24? Don't know, are those props still easy to find?

Yup, from bulding AMA cubs in several classrooms, apparently as long as an adult is providing excess energy to make everything work easily, there will always be plenty of takers for the fun parts. For some, the only fun is in launching, not even in winding. For a very few, the only fun was in watching, not even launching! The goal is to winnow through a population (not necessarily kids) to find those who realize that fun can be found within personal initiative leading to accomplishment. I also did LPP demos in about 500 classrooms. In many of those, I told them about local indoor and (riskily) put my phone number on white board encouraging students to have their parents check us out, so to speak. No results.
Rambling: Guerilla flying--it's exposure, something I've tried. The problem I had (or thought I had) was I wanted to put a card in anyone's hand who stopped to talk about what they were seeing. But that's asking to be caught/sanctioned on a potentially more serious level.
